The history of the Church of Scotland, beginning in the year of our Lord 203 and continued to the end of the reign of King James the VI of ever blessed memory :
John Spottiswood's 1655 history of the Church of Scotland, edited by Brian Duppa and printed in London for the bookseller R. Royston, tells the church's story from AD 203 to the reign of James VI. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initials, letters T and H set in frames of flowers, thistles, scrolls and leafy knotwork, which a designer could draw on for letter-based headers, borders or historical type ornament.
